There's still a lil punch and pie left on that table in the corner if you're hungry but the deviled egg platter probably ain't worth it at this point to be quite honest.

Wow--didn't know deviled egg platters were edible.

You're such a literal Lizzie

So I've been told.

I hope you're not joking. that would be terrific

I always wanted to meet more Flyleaf fans on here, but they don't seem to be that popular

I actually don't get to see the results until everyone else does which will be a little less than 13 hours from the time I'm making this post (4:17 a.m. Eastern US time) but sorry for any confusion.

Alrighty folks. I just got home from my saturday closing shift and am beat. It'll probably take me a good hour or two to tabulate the results of this which I plan on doing tomorrow afternoon so at the latest, we should be starting the round of 128 some time late afternoon or evening tomorrow. Also thanks a whole hell of a lot to all of you for voting since I think we only had 115 people voting during the busiest round last year and had 160 for this opening round which, by my alcohol-and-work-fatigue-induced hazy mental math, means a 39% increase in votership. Great job guys and goils!

Love,

black_floyd

Round of 128? How many bands were in the round we just completed? Does that make the cut-off 1 vote?

We started with 207. The next logical step seemed to be 128 since I was going with a "halving the field" concept. 64 would've meant clearing out 69.1% of the field after 1 round. I'd rather let the swing votes have the loosest shits coupled with the guffawingest giggles

You're fully within your rights dude, it has been four days. My apologies, work's gotten a little bit in the way but I'm halfway through assembling the OP for round 2 (round of 128) as I type this post and thanks again for the interest.

P.S. Rush ain't fucking winning.

P.P.S. I actually like/love about 60% of their discography and just am a little disinterested in the synth era but we've already had this conversation once or twice before.

P.P.P.S They might win.

So how are you going to handle ties? I think you'd be VERY lucky to have a point break occur at the 128/129 juncture. (Please don't say tie-breaker round...)

The narrowing of the field will be loosely based on the powers of 2 in descending fashion (round of 128, then 64, then 32 and so on) but all bands tied at the cutoff point will advance to the next round. For instance, if we were in the round of 64 and trying to narrow it down to 32 but had a 10-way tie at #29, then all bands from #29-38 would advance to the round of "32."

DTVT, I promise you I actually like you so please don't think I'm being too harsh but you're an extremely educated person who has now asked numerous questions about the format and virtually all of them are covered in the OP. That said, how could I have more effectively titled this thread?
